Ang Fraile

John Lloyd Cruz, Joel Torre, Cherrie Gil, and more in Globe Studios’ Ang Fraile

Catch Ang Fraile which is a special mini-series from Globe Studios!

Just before July ends, Globe Studios unveils on its YouTube channel a brand new series that gives what people need at this time: a good laugh. 

Premiering at 8 pm on July 30, 2021, Friday, is ā€œAng Fraile,ā€ (ā€œThe Friarā€) a two-part comedy series that stars comebacking heartthrob John Lloyd Cruz with comedian Jun Sabayton and acclaimed ā€œOro, Plata, Mata,ā€ actors Joel Torre, Cherie Gil and Ronnie Lazaro in a satirical comedy about Filipino life in the Spanish colonial era. 

Jun Sabayton plays the ruthless friar, a peninsulares in the rural town of San Edgardo. Joel Torre and Cherie Gil are a rich mestizo couple who act as their rulers. Ronnie Lazaro is the local soothsayer.Ā 

John Lloyd Cruz plays Pepito, the townā€™s ugliest inhabitant. He is the friarā€™s Indio servant who starts to wonder and commit the blasphemous act of asking: does any of this make any sense?Ā 

The origins of ā€œAng Fraileā€, a project five years in the making, are equally entertaining. The series was the brainchild of producer Erwin Romulo and cult director RA Rivera.Ā

ā€œI’ve been a major fan of RAs for decades now, and Erwin has always been one of my favorite collaboratorsā€ quips Globe Studios head Quark Henares. ā€œThe combination of both talents is fully showcased here, with its stellar cast, period setting, irreverent humor, and social commentary. Weā€™ve done historical films before but I’ve honestly never seen one like ā€˜Ang Fraileā€™. The audience is going to have lots of fun!ā€Ā 

Through this comedy, director RA hopes that viewers will be entertained and also provoked. ā€œOur history shows that we keep making the same mistakes. Thereā€™s no fun in flagellating ourselves for previous errors. You canā€™t undo the past,ā€ says RA. ā€œBut I think that if you can afford to laugh at the past, you have learned your lesson.ā€ 

To watch ā€œAng Fraileā€ for free, log on to the Globe Studios YouTube channel beginning at 8 pm on July 30, Friday (Philippine time). For more info, visit Globe Studiosā€™ Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.Ā
